Scriptwriting

Do you have a story to tell? Of course you do! Why not have a go writing for other people, and hear your words come alive. You’ll get the low down on the essentials of playwriting; learn some tricks and cheats; have fun; and amaze yourself with what comes out of your head. You definitely don’t have to be a writer, but it helps if you’re brave.
